The University of Windsor celebrated the official grand opening of the Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation on Friday.
The building opened to students in September 2012. The $112-million facility represents the largest capital investment in the university’s history.
“This is a major step for the University of Windsor and for the Windsor-Essex region,” says U of W president Alan Wildeman. “The Centre for Engineering Innovation provides our students with an extraordinary facility within which to learn and to see engineering in action.”
The facility features 91,000 square metres of space, with more than 80 teaching and research laboratories, eight classrooms and over a dozen student meeting rooms. It also features the Industrial Courtyard, what’s being called a breeding ground for joint industry-university research projects.
